General Description

3-(Methylthio)thiophene is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C5H6S2 and a molecular weight of 126.23 g/mol. It is a member of the thiophene family and consists of a five-membered ring with four carbon atoms and one sulfur atom. The addition of a methylthio group to thiophene gives it a distinct odor and makes it an important building block in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is commonly used as a flavoring agent and fragrance in the food and cosmetic industries. Additionally, 3-(methylthio)thiophene has been studied for its potential biological activities, including its anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties.

Selective and efficient syntheses of phototoxic 2,2':5',2''-terthiophene derivatives bearing a functional substituent in the 3'- or the 5-position

Efficient and selective procedures have been developed to prepare on a medium scale several phototoxic 2,2':5',2''-terthiophene derivatives of general formula 2 and 3, which are characterized by a functional substituent in the 3'- or the 5-position. Most of these procedures, which are based on the construction of the 2,2':5',2''-terthiophene moiety and involve palladium-mediated carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, allow to overcome synthetic difficulties that may be found in the synthesis of compounds 2 and 3 starting from 2,2':5',2''-terthiophene (1a).

Thiolate chemistry: A powerful and versatile synthetic tool for immobilization/functionalization of oligothiophenes on a gold surface

The synthesis and characterization of a series of quaterthiophenes (4Ts) with thiolate groups protected with 2-cyanoethyl (CNE), 2-trimethylsilylethyl (TMSE), and acetyl (Ac) groups are described. Sequential cleavage of these different protecting groups allows for the preparation of 4Ts derivatized with ferrocene and/or alkanethiol chains. The electrochemical behavior of these compounds has been analyzed in solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV). A ferrocene-derivatized dithiol 4T 14 and a dithiol 4T 15 with two TMSE-protected thiolate groups have been immobilized on a gold surface as monolayers that have been characterized by CV, ellipsometry, contact-angle measurement, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that molecules 14 and 15 are doubly grafted with a horizontal orientation of the conjugated system relative to the surface. Furthermore, application of the deprotection/alkylation sequence of the remaining protected thiolate groups on a monolayer of 15 allows for efficient post-functionalization.
